Artes-JF100
Hello Guys,
I would like to get some input from you all about the JF-100, I need to buy an engine for my JL-16 and i was going to buy the p-70 but i have been looking around and i have heard that the JF-100 is about the same physical size as the Artes enine, Is that true? The lifetime warrenty has got me i just spoke with gulf coast and he said that it covers every part that fails selenoid, starter motors, ecu, fuel pump, etc. I figure i could always derate it for my application and have moter left for a future project. I would like any expierences you all have with these motors good and bad. Thanks alot!

RE: Artes-JF100
I have a Bee and a Falcon and am very pleased with both. The Falcon and P-70 are almost the same size. The JF-100 is a few millimeters bigger. You can compare the dimensions shown on Jetcat USA's and Jet Central's websites. The JF-100 is heavier, about 1/2 pound, but puts out a lot more power and the throttle response is spectacular.
The two engines are not in the same class. I don't wish to open an old argument, but a number of people who have checked Jetcats have a hard time achieving advertised power. Jet Central turbines typically overachieve their advertised numbers. My Falcon ran 23.2# in Mexico City (6000 ft. ASL). Correcting that back to sea level yields about 27#. The Falcon is well worth it IMHO.

RE: Artes-JF100
I just recently got a Falcon for my Comp. ARF Flash, Awesome motor, and the service from Eric Clapp at Jet Central has been Fabulous ,I ordered it at lunchtime on a Monday and it was at my door the next morning at 10:00 Am. My check had not even reached him yet, and I had the Motor in my hands. The lifetime warranty ,and the throttle response put it over the top.
